Is there an Adobe Captivate Slider Bar Widget?

Hi all,
I am wanting to add a slider bar (with associated variable) to my Captivate 8 project.
Does such a thing exist? I've had a good look online, and have also checked out all of the available widgets that come with Captivate.
I should mention, that I want to use the slider for adjusting a variable on the screen, rather than a volume control or similar in the player skin.
I've found that there is a third party slider from Infosemantics, though looking at their site, although this widget is compatible with Captivate 8 it doesn't work with the HTML5 output. I want my content to as Flash/HTML5 compatible so this unfortunately won't work for me.
It seems such an obvious thing to have included with Captivate so I'm surprised I can't find it.
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Simon

Thanks Lilybiri.
I took a look at that, though ideally was after something that did both SWF and HTML5.
I'm surprised that Adobe haven't bundled one in as I'd imagine quite a few people would want to add a slider to their projects.
Thanks again,
Simon

Is there a Adobe Captivate Exchange or Add-on Section

Is there a Adobe Captivate Exchange or Add-on Section that I am overlooking?
If there isn't an official Adobe section are there any suggested places?
Or are elearningtemplates.com and elearningart.com the only official places now?
Thank you

Hi there,
Currently I am not aware of an official Captivate or Add-ons Exchange directly from Adobe. We have worked with the Captivate team but it was felt that because Captivate is not a CC app it did not make sense within Add-ons. It is certainly worth asking he Captivate team via the Adobe Captivate forums however.
Hope that helps.

Adobe Captivate 6 - Interactive Widgets and Resume Playing Timeline?!

Hello! I am using Adobe Captivate 6 to work on several training projects and the slides where I have inserted interactive widgets (such as accordion theme), along with the normal text to speech and timed text boxes, when I go to publish in either html or swf those particular slides pause the whole presentation/training. Unlike the other slides that continue/play the timeline when entered these particular slides (with interactive widgets) do not do the same and pause the presentation (you have to press the play button on the menu bar to continue with narrative and I'm trying to have it play automatically). Does anyone know how I may go about having these particular slides not pause the presentation and continue playing the timeline. I've exhausted all measures and need help. Thank you.

In Captivate 6, all learning interactions (accordions is not an interactive
widget at all) were pausing the slide at the first frame, sorry. That has
changed later. In 7 and present version, most learning interactions do not pause at all (with the exception of some games), you have to pause yourself to allow time for the interaction.
Have some workarounds, but none for what you want. Keep the interactions on a separate slide is the only recommendation I can offer.
As for my first remark about Accordions not being an interactive widget, last night I tried to explain some concepts of the interactions to another user in this thread: Tracking Learning Interactions

I ended up answering my own question. But just in case this helps anyone else, I'm going to post my solution.
Essentially, I just re-created the video in MP4 format. Then I used MetaZ (for Mac) to write Meta Data to the video. Lastly, I imported the video as an object and when I published the video, Captivate transmuted it to the necessary FLV format.
Now the video displays properly.

Priniting Adobe Captivate Slides

My professor uses adobe captivate for his slides, I was wondering how I can print them off to take notes since I am just a viewer and not a publisher. Thank you in advance for your help.

You will not be able to print them, why not ask your professor to insert the Notes Interaction, so that you can take notes on each slide, and print those notes?

Lock the progress bar in the Adobe Captivate 5.5 playbar.

I recently read some interesting postings from cpguru website. One of them is how to lock the progress bar.
(http://www.cpguru.com/tutorial-lock-the-progress-bar-in-the-adobe-captivate-playbar/)
It says that we can lock the progess bar with simple three lines of AS2 code.
this.stop();
delete _root.cpPbcBar_mc.pbcBar_mc.pbcSlider_mc.onMouseDown;
delete _root._level0.cpPbcBar_mc.pbcBar_mc.pbcSlider_mc.onMouseDown;
I would like to use this code, but my captivate version is 5.5, which means
I do need to have AS3 code. Is there anyone who already figure out how to do it with AS3?
If so, could you give me some guidance.
Sami

Hi Sami,
I am not sure if you would like to hide it or lock it.
I can recommend you to use the a system defined variable and set it to hide the play bar on ceratin slides so it would not appear on those slide.
Thanks!

Is there any other way to get Adobe Captivate help?

Hi guys,
is there any other way to get Adobe Captivate specific help? I've posted a question twice with no help, it's very specific, so no one here might actually know the solution. I'm wondering though, since the chat is obviously not for Captivate users with product or service questions.
Is there a tech team I can somehow contact? We really need an answer to the problem.
Thanks,
Nat
P.S. I'll post the problem again here:
We publish mp4 training videos as HTML5 content and have the problem that we need to restrict the player to only play/pause.
Adobe Captivate 7 works fantastic for us on almost all devices, many Androids, many browsers, and even on iPad. Captivate, after adding the video as a multi-slide video to one slide and publishing it as HTML5 content, only lets the student play and pause the video - just what we need.
But then we test it on iPhone and the iPhone's internal quicktime player recognizes the mp4 video and kicks in, gives the student all the functions they want, totally overrides the HTML5 published Captivate restricted playback options.
Is there ANY way we can get around that? Any function or box we haven't checked before publishing the HTML5 content?
We would even be happy, if the video wouldn't play on iPhone - just as long as they can't use it to fast forward to the end of the video.
Does anyone here know how to bypass the internal iPhone 5 player?
Thanks,
Nat

By the way, I have updated to the newest Captivate 7 version and am using iOS version 7.0.4.
Again, it's fine on iPad, but not on iPhone 5.

Intelligent Print Widget not compatible with Adobe Captivate 7?

HI,
I took a file I developed with CP6 that has the Intelligent Print Widget on the Quiz Results pages into CP7. When I publish the file, I don't see the print widget. I even ensured the swf file is there in the zipped package but still no print button. What happened?
Please help!

My colleague got it from the site below:

I contacted them to get the updated version. I hope it helps.

How to integrate adobe flash widgets from Adobe captivate with Adobe Presenter?

Hi all,
We are a group of students who are creating a number of flash widgets that allows them to create e-learning activities. We are creating specific widgets in Flash for use in Captivate and then the results of the widgets in Adobe Presenter. The client noticed that widgets that work in Adobe Captivate don't always work in Adobe Presenter. Is there a way to make this function correctly?
Secondly, if it isn't possible to make that work correctly through the first method, is it possible to utilise Adobe Air to do the same or similar process. The client would prefer if we could integrate anything we use with an LMS and SCORM. But we believe it may not be possible to do this with Adobe Air.
Would someone be able to help us out with this?
Thanx

Some of the functionalities of CP4 (I assume that you use this version?) only work in a CP-published SWF, p.e. using the right mouse click as a trigger. I have inserted several CP-SWF's into Adobe Presenter, while using some of the widgets provided with CP4 and did not have any problems with these (p.e. Flash button). But I do not know what kind of widgets you created. Do they function all right in CP4 itself?

Adobe Captivate how to display number of attempts in Drag Drop Interaction slide

Adobe Captivate how to display number of attempts in Drag Drop Interaction slide
i have set attempts to 3
on each failure i want to show on slide how many attempts used
and how many correct answers

Hi Sreekanth,
You understanding is correct. But,it is not even necessary to show the correct sources on correct targets along with the feedback... the correct option numbers in incorrect feedback will do.
reg point number 3, if I revisit the slide, the feedback are still displayed. For example, in this case, I added a correct feedback, but when I revisit the slide, the feedback was still appearing. So I added this action "On Enter" to "Hide" this success caption. So that is why i told specifically that none of the feed backs should be there when i revisit the slide.
Sorry Srikanth - I am not familiar with the advanced actions or variables. I have just used some from referring the examples from net. that's all

Preventing slides auto advancing in Adobe Captivate 8?

Hi guys,
Is there a way to prevent slides from advancing automatically in Adobe Captivate 8? I want the user to have to click a 'next' button to move to the next slide.
The closest I've seen so far is for Captivate 6, and was an ugly workaround of having an invisible button on screen that has a pause on its timer (where the pause is placed right at the end of the slide timeline).
Thanks
Erika

D'oh! Thanks for the help finding it.
I can't seem to move the pause at all; does this mean it always pauses exactly at the end of the slide? If I'm going to use this technique then (in general) I'd like to use it like this:
- short slide length, just long enough for the following to happen:
1. objects transition or move (or other fx) onto the screen.
2. the screen pauses (giving the learner as long as they need to read/complete the screen)
3. the learner has to select the 'next' button to advance
4. the objects on screen transition or move off.
5. the next slide loads automatically, i.e. repeat steps 1-4.

Adobe Captivate freezes- Doesn't show Slide Images

I'm getting a frequently occuring error where Adobe Captivate freezes and no longer shows the captured animations of the slides, only the mouse movements. Then if I try to save, it looks like it is saving, but does nothing. Then if I wait a bit longer, the entire application locks up, and I can't do anything. This is not an issue with the file being too big, because I only have about 25 slides, and the file is only about 50MB large. Also, I have 8GB of RAM, of which only 4GB is being used. What could be causing this issue?

Hi there
What version of Captivate are you using? Where exactly are you attempting to save? Captivate projects don't like it when you save them and edit them while they are placed on a network drive. So if your project is on a network drive you should move it to your local C drive.
Cheers... Rick

Adobe Captivate 5.0 Frame/Slide Limit

Ok, so i read awhile back (on this forum I think) that there is a frame/slide limit in captivate. if you pass the limit than your project starts acting a little crazy (we think we have seen some of this crazyness).
My question is...Is there a limit? if so what is it? I know it is inheriant in Flash to have a frame limit (which we passed over and over again) but we have kept our slides under the 60 slide count that i thought it was.
Any answer to this question would be a REALLY big help to me and my team.

Hi there
Captivate 4 and earlier had an unstated "best practice" limit of 50-65 slides. We found that to be the "sweet spot" or the spot before you reached the danger zone and your project began acting crazy. But with Captivate 5 being re-architected and all, the engineers tell us you should be able to get away with as many as 400 to 500 slides without issue.
Personally, I believe there has to be some limit we will later discover. But we just don't know what it is yet.
Cheers... Rick

Retrieving & displaying values from a slide in Adobe Captivate 5.5

Hi,
I am using Adobe Captivate 5.5.
1.In a slide I assign a variable with "active" or "disabled" when user clicks Active button or Disabled button in that slide. This I do with Javascript.
2.In the next slide I am able to retrieve the resultant (active/disabled). And I want this result to be displayed on a button as a label or display in a Test Caption. Is it possible to do. If so how?
Please suggest.
With thank and regards
Krishna

I am able to save the text in a java script variable and show the same in an alert (as you observed) but not clear/sure how to assign or save it to a user defined variable in Captivate. Kindly suggest how to first create this user defined variable and how to displays the contents in Captivate.
